I didn't vote for Trump (voted Johnson) and liked Yang initially. He seemed more sensible than the other Leftist loons. UBI isn't anathema to conservatives. Once I learned Milton Friedman supported a negative income tax (similar to a UBI) I warmed up to it. If it was used to reduce the size of government by abolishing much of the programs and agencies like Friedman desired then most conservatives would also see its benefit.

The problem I wonder about is how our capitalist system can continue when nearly half the population isn't needed. I mean we've already established whose "essential" and not by way of this pandemic. ~20% of the population is unemployed and the economy is trucking along fine without them. As more jobs are automated and people lose out, the economy will need continued infusion of capital from the rich who it continues to consolidate towards. My preference is for deregulation to incentivize competition and Trump to bust up some of the major corporations but I wonder if it can keep pace to the speed automation eliminates jobs.
